between vechicles)

Develop a toolbox which will integrate all the project results and solutions

Improve safety and minimize risks at and around

LCs

Focus on human processes (adapt the infrastructure to end-users, human centred measures, VRUs)

Evaluation group exercise (10.15 – 11.15)

OrganisationParticipants are organised in 6 small groups (about 7 persons / group)Each group moderated by one consortium partner (with one computer)

Group 1 – Aida Group 2 – AnneGroup 3 – AnnikaGroup 4 – FranciscoGroup 5 – Marie-HeleneGroup 6 – Grigore

Each group receives a generic description of a problem (unsafe LC) to be solved (scenario composed of an image and a short text).Each scenario is different (LC vary by type, environment, and user behaviour type)

TasksThe moderator presents the scenario (2 min)Each group discusses the problem and possible solutions to solve it (and documents 3 recommended measures) (15 min)The moderator asks the participants to discuss the same problem again – but now with the SAFER-LC toolbox, and participants are asked to propose against 3 solutions (35 min)Participants decide if they hold on their original solution(s) or whether they changed their mind after using SAFER-LC toolbox. (5 min)

Coffee break (11.15 – 11.45)

Individual evaluation session (11.45 - 12.15)

Each participant fills in a feedback questionnaire (closed and open questions)

Each group moderator distributes and collects the questionnaires making sure they are complete

23

Interactive session (12.15 - 13.00)

Debriefing and reporting from each group regarding the toolbox

Each moderator or a member of the group gives an overview of the group exercise (5 min per group):

Scenario

3 solutions without the toolbox

3 solutions with the toolbox (and if the toolbox gave new ideas)
